Family-friendly holiday rentals in Mount Scott - Arleta, Portland

Absolutely beautiful location and friendly & kind hosts! We had everything we needed & more. We truly felt like we were staying with family! The space was perfect for our family of four, and the hot tub was a great bonus after a day of hiking & sightseeing in the area. The location was serene and quiet and perfectly located for the activities we had planned.

Gem of SE is right. Walkable to coffee shops and all of Hawthorne without being in the hussle. Air conditioning during a Portland summer, oh ya, theve got it! Very peaceful backyard. Felt secluded in the hot tub. This place is great! The shower is missing a door but other than that, everything was amazing.

An absolute gem of a place to stay. Do not hesitate to book. Beautifully designed. Wonderful wolf gas rage in a state full of electric stoves. A wonderful place to stay with friends, we didn’t want to leave. We will be back. Bigger than I expected from the photos. Thank you for a wonderful stay!

Melissa was the best host I have ever had! She went out of her way to accommodate me and my kids. We landed late and she proactively offered to set up the futon bed for us and even left us some food. We enjoyed our stay. The yard was great. Great walkable location. We would definitely stay here again when in Portland.

An unforgettable and peaceful getaway! Our stay at this Airbnb was truly amazing. From the moment we arrived, the hosts were incredibly accommodating and helpful, making sure we had everything we needed for a relaxing and enjoyable trip. The property itself was peaceful and beautifully maintained—perfect for unwinding and disconnecting. One of the unexpected highlights was the collection of musical instruments available to use, which added such a unique and fun touch to the stay. Overall, it was a memorable experience and the perfect escape. Highly recommended—we can’t wait to come back!

We had a truly wonderful stay! The space was incredibly clean, peaceful, and beautifully decorated—with thoughtful touches throughout that made it feel extra special. It was private and quiet, yet perfectly located for exploring the Portland area. Parking was easy, and the neighborhood felt safe and welcoming. The hosts were extremely kind and communicative—we felt well taken care of from start to finish. We were very impressed and would absolutely stay here again!

We were in Portland for our son’s graduation and Arlene’s place was one of the best we’ve stayed at. The garden was peaceful and magical, the home spotless and well-equipped. Arlene was super responsive and even helped with our laundry. Highly recommend!

Adorable little adu. Beautifully designed and impeccably clean. I had a lovely stay. And it was so fun to see the chickens!

Nathan and Liz are amazing hosts! They clearly take a lot of pride in their Airbnb, and the loft was very clean and well laid out. I would definitely stay again during my next trip to Portland!

We had a lovely stay at Stephen’s place! Hidden away behind the main house, the place felt secluded and private. It was equipped with everything we needed to cook, and stocked with thoughtful toiletries. Close to all the main grocery stores, and walking distance to Hollywood Theater. I highly recommend staying here!

Great stay! Very peaceful! Wish I didn’t get so sick- because we would have enjoyed more of the area! Chill spot!

For the price I paid, I am extremely happy with my experience. The space was clean and very close to the airport. Shane is very attentive and communicative; I never felt like I was being ignored or that he had other priorities. I'd recommend this place to any solo/duo travelers looking for shelter close to the airport. Some very minor gripes (me being very picky): -The overhead shower was great, but I wasn't a huge fan of the protruding stones on the floor - I have bit of a sensitive nose and all I could smell when entering was laundry detergent fragrance (which at least means things are clean) - Finding space for parking was no problem at all, but it is on a slope, which coupled with having to cross the road might be difficult for some elder travelers or those with disabilities

This was a wonderful spot to stay. The place was very clean and no weird smells (has been a trend lately with Airbnbs for my partner and I). I think it had a wonderful ambience and the neighborhood is one of my favorites in Portland, it was nice to be able to walk around and enjoy it. Easy drive to areas like Sellwood and Woodstock too. I very much recommend this Airbnb.

Immaculate place, most comfortable bed ever, peaceful and quiet.

This is our 5th time staying at Susannah's! We always look forward to coming 'home' when we get to Portland.

This was such a sweet little spot! We really enjoyed the time we spent here. It was very comfortable and close to some great places around town.

Tessa was so great to work with. We got in pretty late and she had the lights on for us and gave very clear instructions on how to find the place and where to park. It was clean & cozy!

Very clean and well kept space! Would definitely stay again, we loved it. Bridget was very kind and responsive as well!

This is the second time we've stayed at Shelley's place and it was just as good the second time around. While there are a lot of posted rules and guidelines around the house, they have obviously helped keep her home immaculate for guests. She communicates incredibly well and is more than accommodating to any special needs or requests. She invited my group to come up a night early due to her previous renters checking out early and offered us a check-out at any time of the day, not rushing us out at all. The pool and view are unmatched and I highly recommend this location to others. If we're in need of a rental in Sherwood again, Shelley's place will be our first choice.

Fantastic studio in great location! Gorgeous flowers and very nice and accommodating hosts!

Julie was a generous host. It was a peaceful place for my family to stay and easy for our local family to come for meals and visit. Every morning we had coffee on the large private deck. We sat on the deck some evenings and enjoyed the fresh air and complete lack of mosquitoes. The two full bathrooms for the five of us were essential. We booked this house to have a great place to stay-in and have local family over but it was also close to many things in Portland. The zoo and the science museum were two of them. Julie was responsive to requests and just a very kind person.

This home well exceeded my expectations and the photos truly don’t do a justice to how beautiful everything truly is. The views were incredible and the house itself is extraordinary, plenty of space for guests to have room to roam, the amenities are to die for and overall I have been blown away! My only regret is not booking for longer. The host was very informative and kind throughout the entire process.
